S copy of transcript. hät teat mémà aaié Berlin, 31 July 1941 Informations-Abteilung aotdotorcedotes ated tae Dr. Helfrich A Since my last visit to Prague, there have been so many new questions about the foreign affairs concerning the Protectorate that Mr von Scheliha considers a new trip to Prague necessary. On this occasion, the agreements with Mr. Redel Orbis-Verlag7, which have unfortunately not yet been concluded by changing the direction of the Information-Department, can be re-treated and some other things addressed, caused by the strong demand from South America for church material, I thought perhaps to let Father Mitnacht, who works for us, give us a small brochure on the church relations in the Protectorate. The writing should not be larger than about 20 pages and contain perhaps 4 pages of pictures. Here, the church life in the Protectorate should be treated in factual form, if possible with numerical material. I would be grateful if you could get in touch with Father Mitnacht for material procurement. I will then give the author the details during a Prague stay. Orbis publishing house could take over the printing. Since the beginning of the war against Soviet Russia, foreign propaganda has been working hard again with the panslavic idea, with the Czech people playing an important role, it would also be a good time for an interview with the Imperial Protector about the legacy in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It would be good if Freiherr von Gregory could come forward in this matter. The interview would only spread abroad and could accordingly have a Czech-friendly tendency. I thought about the 10th to Prague and would be happy to meet you. With the best regards and salvation Hitler! dee de d gez. Karl Helfrich
